#flat-map Build Status

A flat map implementation for node streams

##Installation npm install flat-map

##Usage

When the callback data is already flat passes it maps it normally:

  var es = require('event-stream');
  var flatMap = require('flat-map');
  es.readArray([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
    .pipe(flatMap(function(data, callback) { callback(null, data.split(/\s/); }));
  // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

When the callback data is an array it flattens and maps it accordingly:

  var es = require('event-stream');
  var flatMap = require('flat-map');
  es.readArray('one two', 'three', 'four five')
    .pipe(flatMap(function(data, callback) { callback(null, data.split(/\s/); });
  // ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']

When the callback data is a stream it flattens and maps it accordingly:

  var es = require('event-stream');
  var flatMap = require('flat-map');
  es.readArray('one two', 'three', 'four five')
    .pipe(flatMap(function(data, callback) { callback(null, es.readArray(data.split(/\s+/))) });
  // ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']

When the callback data is a promise it flattens and maps it accordingly:

  var es = require('event-stream');
  var flatMap = require('flat-map');
  es.readArray('one two', 'three', 'four five')
      .pipe(flatMap(function(data, callback) {
        callback(null, new Promise(function(resolve) { resolve(data); }))
      }));
  // ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five']
